Where you sail

A thousand islands, five sensible places to start

Croatia's charter fleet clusters around a handful of Dalmatian bases. Which one you leave from shapes your whole week — here's the honest difference.

Central Dalmatia

ACI Marina Split

The busiest gateway to the Dalmatian islands — Hvar, Brac and Vis all within a day's sail.

South Dalmatia

Dubrovnik

Start or finish in the walled city, with Mljet and the Elaphiti islands close by.

Central Dalmatia

Marina Frapa Rogoznica

A quieter start between Split and Sibenik, ideal for the Kornati archipelago.

Three weeks worth copying

From Split

The classic Dalmatian loop

Split → Milna (Brač) → Hvar → Vis → Šolta → Split

Roughly 20–25 nm a day, always somewhere to duck into if the maestral gets bored.

From Šibenik or Rogoznica

Kornati and the quiet water

Rogoznica → Žirje → Kornati NP → Sali (Dugi Otok) → Skradin → Rogoznica

Bare islands, empty bays and the Krka waterfalls up a river you can sail into.

From Dubrovnik

South to the walls

Dubrovnik → Šipan → Mljet NP → Korčula → Lastovo → Dubrovnik

The most dramatic finish in the Adriatic, and the best restaurants of the lot.
